Sources: Brendan Rodgers fighting to keep Leicester City job after new fall-out

Brendan Rodgers is fighting for his job at Leicester City amid tense relations with club chiefs, sources have told Football Insider.

The 49-year-old has been unable to sign a single player this summer and is battling to keep hold of prize assets Wesley Fofana and James Maddison.Behind the scenes, it is understood Rodgers is unhappy he has not been backed by the club hierarchy, who, in turn, have major doubts over his long-term positionFootball Insider revealed in February that Rodgers had fallen out with longstanding Foxes director of football Jon Rudkin, with the club’s recruitment a particular bone of contention.

The pair have failed to repair their relationship and it is believed to have become increasingly sour in recent weeks.

Leicester came close to sacking Rodgers in February following a grim series of results and his position has been weakened further going into the new season.

Yep, time for Rudkin to go.

Bullshit, Rudkin never should’ve survived the Silva fax machine fiasco

Mentioned, in less dramatic terms admittedly, elsewhere. 

 

Anything to it? Maybe but so what. Many a company where the finance director can't stand the sales director etc etc. There are a number of pressures within the club, personality clashes etc, and tempers get frayed as a result I'm sure. I wouldn't read too much into it personally. 

 

That said, it'd not surprise me if Rodgers is running out of merit points and someone snaps, bringing matters to a head.

Isn't this a 'shit source' when it comes to transfers? No doubt people will believe it now because it matches what they want to think.

I think "Football Insider"'s source is just scrolling through FoxesTalk.

I don't think it will be long before the Rodgers toys come out of the pram. He is swaying towards using this as an excuse for failing where in reality it is his poor performances as a tactician and manager.

I'm certainly glad that the club are making him earn his spending money after a woeful summer last year.

People keen to sacking someone who been our DOF during the club golden period, typical foxestalk 

[UHDrive]

Rudkin MUST go. He's the one who signs the contracts off both in terms of length AND monies. HE is responsible for this nightmare not BR. BR can be backed by the club but Rudkin has to take responsibility for this I'm afraid.

Silly source

Nonsense source, so don’t even trouble yourself thinking about it 

[coolhandfox]

Be more worried if they weren't fall out, on and off the field hasn't been good enough over the last 12 months so they should be challenge each other 

[Guest Lako42]

Don't need the article to tell me the bleeding obvious.

If the recruitment team/Rodgers are bringing in players informing Rudkin that they are of a certain level of ability to warrant that level of wage & contract but turn out to be crap, then Rudkin is not solely at fault.

If Rudkin is taking decisive information from anyone other the scouting team, he needs the sack for that alone.

Nothing more than I have said. It will all come out in the wash I imagine. Can’t see the situation continuing much beyond 4/5 games - unless there is a dramatic on field renaissance, which doesn’t look likely.
